0xDEFACED··on Going Dark, and the era of law enforcement hacking
i wonder how many open source projects have alphabet boys building trust as contributors for eventual backdoor planting
0xDEFACED··on How I use HTMX with Go
my vote is for GUSH
0xDEFACED··on Pine64 launch $50 smart speaker for Home Assistant tinkerers
i wish for and fantasize about building something like this every time my alexa starts following up with an ad for a feature i will never want or use. glad to see this exists!
0xDEFACED··on Linux Basics for Hackers (2019)
first edition is also available on Internet Archive in multiple formats
0xDEFACED··on GitHub bans security researcher who posted zero-day Windows exploits
it's a good question
0xDEFACED··on The seed oil panic is hurting my cardiac patients
in this particular case it feels like a very safe assumption
0xDEFACED··on The seed oil panic is hurting my cardiac patients
i agree with the premise of the article. i also wish the author had cared enough about such an important topic to actually write about it themselves. doing otherwise disrespects the reader
0xDEFACED··on Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans
access to all of the latest and greatest models for half the price of a single company's basic plan is (or rather, was) a very compelling option
0xDEFACED··on The RAM shortage could last years
do you have an online storefront?
0xDEFACED··on Filing the corners off my MacBooks
for what it's worth, i found it hilarious
0xDEFACED··on Make Tmux Pretty and Usable
my favorite thing to do with tmux is using a sessionizer script[0] (credit for the idea/original implementation goes to ThePrimeagen). allows for fzf-ing my projects and creating a separate session for each one. especially handy for bouncing around when working on features/fixes that span multiple repos

for (neo)vim users, flattening vim splits and tmux panes into the same level for switching with ctrl+hjkl is handy too

0xDEFACED··on Filing the corners off my MacBooks
this can't be how i find out...
0xDEFACED··on Claude 4.6 Jailbroken
this goes a bit further than the typical "how do you make meth" jailbreak. notably;

>915 files extracted from the Claude.ai code execution sandbox in a single 20-minute mobile session via standard artifact download — including /etc/hosts with hardcoded Anthropic production IPs, JWT tokens from /proc/1/environ, and full gVisor fingerprint

0xDEFACED··on A dot a day keeps the clutter away
i have a truly marvelous story about interesting marginalia which this comment box is too small to contain
0xDEFACED··on The bridge to wealth is being pulled up with AI
>No regression. No noise. Just compounding.

it seems like half the articles I click on here are generated, and in half of those, nobody in the comments seems to notice (or care)

0xDEFACED··on Ant Mill
this is what claude is doing when he gets stuck in a "you're absolutely right!" loop
0xDEFACED··on Astral to Join OpenAI
will private packages hosted on pyx be available for openai to use as training data?
0xDEFACED··on Electron microscopy shows ‘mouse bite’ defects in semiconductors
any hope that this could be applied to improving memory fab yields and ease some of the capacity constraints on consumer devices? asking for a friend
0xDEFACED··on On The Need For Understanding
i've been thinking about this a lot the past few days, particularly about how coding agents can _help_ with understanding

i've been using opencode/opus to help with debugging lately, and it (he?) will happily dive into the source code of a dependency, the dependency's dependencies, and the C code that its binding to, all the way down to reading the libusb driver code and explaining what is going on where

whether or not i could have figured that all out on my own is beside the point; i wouldn't have take the time on a tight deadline to dig in deep. i would have done some poking and experiments and shipped a hacky workaround

0xDEFACED··on Palantir CEO Makes Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power
does anyone have a link to the full news segment? it's not clear to me from the clip in the link that he's talking about Palantir; he makes multiple references to "this technology" without ever clarifying what "this" is.

sounds to me like he's talking more about AI disruption at large

0xDEFACED··on Apple's MacBook Neo makes repairs easier and cheaper than other MacBooks
i sure hope so if apple intends to sell these things to school divisions. the levels of abuse i witnessed students dishing out to their chromebooks when i was a teacher was shocking to say the least
0xDEFACED··on Just-bash: Bash for Agents
chmod with extra steps
0xDEFACED··on Skip the Tips: A game to select "No Tip" but dark patterns try to stop you
is there a name for the phenomenon where a user immediately assumes the smallest and lowest contrast button on an interface is the option they want, before actually reading any of the words?
0xDEFACED··on Waymo exec reveals company uses remote workers in the Philippines
not if the swerve would put you headlong into oncoming traffic
0xDEFACED··on Briar: Peer to Peer Encrypted Messaging
Briar offers a companion ”mailbox” app for the exact reason you describe (i assume)

where did you read that it hosts an onion service? i guessed that's how it worked but couldn't find anything in their docs that said so.

0xDEFACED··on GibberLink [AI-AI Communication]
youre missing the forest for the trees. the library this demo is using for audio encoding (ggwave) was not made by the creators of this demo. speed (or lack thereof) aside, having a direct audio<->text encoding is much more computationally efficient than speech<->text generation.

on the subject of the encoding efficiency, the ggwave depo mentions the use of reed-solomon error correction to make transmission more reliable. im struggling to find any info on error correction used by bell 103 or other modems, but if they aren't as robust that could partially explain the discrepancy you're describing

0xDEFACED··on I wrote a Game Boy Advance game in Zig
wow, i also started using linux about 5 years ago due to frustrations with getting python to work on windows

sure, the windows installer is easy enough to get set up, but pretty quickly i started noticing a pattern in most documentation/tutorials.

Linux: one-line setup command

Windows: nothing, or a complicated, multi-step process (that rarely works without hiccups)

wasting my time going down rabbit holes debugging my environment was not as fun as actually writing code

0xDEFACED··on Ask HN: Why do you all think that Htmx is such a recent development?
What makes describing your UI with components that use a html template fragment and receive a context object a leaky abstraction, as opposed to components that use JSX and receive a props object?
0xDEFACED··on Hackers discover how to reprogram NES Tetris from within the game
How long before someone runs Doom on Tetris?
0xDEFACED··on Microsoft ties executive pay to security after multiple failures and breaches
When I click on link in an article, almost always it’s because I want to cross reference the information on a different source. If the link takes me to another article on the same site, I usually stop reading altogether.

Wikipedia is an exception, of course.
